Be it known that I, CHARLES N. 'Gonrnnn,

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Mamaroneck, in the county of Westchester and State of New log-k, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in' Lipstick Containers, of which the following is a specificatiom V The present invention relates toholders 1 for lipsticks and the like and special objects of the invention are to provide a device of this character which will be-of simple, inexpensive, light construction; attractive a;

pearance; made up of but few parts, capab e '7 of being readily assembled and operable with a quick easy action to positively'jproject andi'etract the lipstick on other contained element. t r g a The accompanying drawing forming part of this specification illustrates a practical embodiment of the invention, wherein theforegoing and other objects are attained through a novel construction, combination and relation of parts as hereinafter set forth. Figure 1 is a side view of the invention embodied in a lipstick holder showing the same inthe closed condition. p

Figure 21s a vertical sectional view of the device.

' ing and sleeveare rota-tably confined to the inner sleeve by the overturned flange attlie mouth of the latter. 1'

The carrier-for the lipstick, which m s instance constitutes the shiftable element of the device, is slidably confined within atubular guide or sleeve 10 and, is shown in the form of a cup shaped member ll'heldto a straight sliding movement within the guide sleeve by a .projectin 'pin 12. operating in a longitudinally exten ing. slot .13. I

The pin 12 is of special cojnst'ru :t ion in that it is made of a single "piece'of spring wire having a straightportion toproject through an opening 1* in the side of the carthis guide b3 construe rier and provided withla bent portion 1521f] partlyfcircular form "or button hook shape to form a spring headlyielding'ly fittin" inside the carrier; Thispin-isseeured thecarrier by compressing and forcing it down against the'closed' bottom" f the carrier and-turning it, if necessary, 0 bring'the 'point. of'the same into, register. with the opening '14; whereupon" the pin snap into final position with the straighb' portion of the same projectingirom' the carrier and thefcoiled portion frictionally grippi 13g the.

' A practical method of constructing the screw sleeve is to'niake the same of a sag of fiat spring material such as'designat 22 in Figure 7, wound into helical form with spaces between adjacent convolutions to'provide the continuous helical screw slot. In addition to the advantages of simplicity and inexpensiveness, this construction gives a spring tension which causfs this element to automatically fit and securely engage itself I I l I 9 within the casing, .The-desired'amount of spring tension may be provided by 5,1 proper selection of materialand by {the strip sufficiently larger than the" insiti a-meter of thecasing'; f

A hin e'd mp 23fiS S hOW1 1 .rovided. for closing t e upper-open end o the-holder;

said cap being 11 lustrated'ais frictionally engaging downoverfthe' upper end of casing and as yidldingly held closed by snapping oven-ailug or projection 24 forced outof the side' of the I he cover is nounted by a. novel construction comprising a pmtle wire 25 hinge encircled at its intermediate portion by a knuckle extension 25: depende'nt from the rear edge of thei'c'over, said knuckle ex was a w e intermediate portion within the knuckle 2 6 and its curvrd or bent end portions within the bead, the end of the helical sleeve inside the casing acting as a retainer to posit vely secure suchend portions of the wire in, place. I v

A special and important feature of the v invention is that the parts can be easily assembled without soldering or the use of special tools, and further, that the several parts are secured together a in proper .i'elations by the simple acts of assembling the same. Thus the guiding and actuating pin -is secured within the carrieiby simply forcing the same down into the cup of the car-1 rier and positioningit so that the point of the pin W111 spring out throughthe opening provided just above the bottom of the carrier. The carrier may then be engaged within the guide tube by entering it within the same and forcing back the point of the plin until it snaps into the straight guide s 0t of its spring character is easily slipped over the flange end of the guide tube and after it is turned to locate the helical slot therein over the projecting portion of the pin and -compressed somewhat, it is an easy matter to slip the casing on over the helical tube and force it down until the upper end of the same snaps under the shoulder provided by the flanged rimj18. Before thecasing is forced all theway on, the hinge pintle should be engaged in its sockets so that as the casing snaps into place, the ends of the hinge pintle will be brought against the outer surface of the helical sleeve. The slot provided in theupper edge of the casing to receive the hinge knuckle of the cap. pro- V vides the amount of resiliency necessary to enable the upper end of the'ivca sing sleeve to pass over the flanged end-oi the guide sleeve and snap into position underxieath the same.

The parts of the device arejiew and of simple construction and it 'il1"he seen also that assemblingmosts arei're need to'a minimum.
